Dante’s voice was like a pool of cold water. It sounded cold and piercing.
“You say you are Joseph Beckham, the president of ST Group?”
Hayden had just walked out of the door with Joseph in tow when they heard this questioning voice. The
two of them turned around again.
Joseph unabashedly admitted his identity.
“It seems like you know me.”
“Not just know.”
The swarthy man gritted his teeth angrily. Then, Hayden saw white snowflakes slamming into her and
Joseph.
A black shadow came straight at Joseph’s face, accompanied by Dante’s angry roar.
“You’ve come to my place without me asking.”
“Watch out!” Hayden felt dizzy and only felt a pair of hands pushing her away as she slammed into the
white wooden door with a ‘thud’ sound. She let out a cry and she felt pain in her back.
When she regained her consciousness, the two men in front of her had already wrestled together.
Joseph was a good fighter, but Dante was a tall man with a height of 180cm, and he was muscular
because he lived by the sea. Therefore, he only felt a little pain when he was hit by Joseph, and his
every punch hit Joseph heavily.
Soon, Dante gained the upper hand over Joseph.
Dante grabbed him by his collar and pinned him to the ground.
Joseph let out a stifled grunt and received a solid punch from Dante. The corner of his mouth was
soaked with blood.
“Stop fighting.”
Hayden finally came to her mind. She screamed anxiously by their sides.
However, the two men did not listen to her at all, or rather Dante refused to stop. Out of self-protection,
Joseph didn’t let himself keep being beaten. At the moment, the courtyard was in a mess.
The dyed cloth and salted fish on the bamboo poles also fell to the ground with a crash and rolled into
the dirt.
Holding her mobile phone, Hayden was very anxious and angry at the side.
“Stop fighting. I’ll call the police now if you two don’t stop.”
Dante was so angry that he didn’t care anything more. He was simply attacking Joseph in a suicidal
manner as if he hated Joseph very much. He kept punching Joseph.
Hayden couldn’t stand it anymore and hurriedly came up to yank them apart.
There was a loud bang sound, accompanied by Hayden’s screaming in the courtyard.
After hearing the screaming sound, Joseph who had already lost his strength and was pinned to the
ground to be bitten had his pupils contracted and he violently pushed Dante away with a strength that
he usually didn’t have and stumbled towards Hayden.
“Hayden…”
In the courtyard, a large iron pot that was set up with a simple distillation device had fallen over and
Hayden was lying next to the pot, with a bowl-sized black and brown burn on her calf. There was white
smoke coming out from her wounds.
Joseph was very nervous as he picked up Hayden and rushed out of the courtyard.
Dante was also stunned, and his face looked pale when he was looking at the scene. He was
dumbfounded for a while before he got up and chased after them, stumbling.
“I… have an electric tricycle. I’ll take you two to the clinic in the town.”
Joseph could only bear his grievance and got into his broken tricycle, holding Hayden who was
unconscious in his arms on the way.
Ever since she had been with him, Hayden seemed to have been encountering disasters repeatedly
without a break.
In the clinic of Sea View Town…
Hayden was sent to the operating room to have her wounds treated. The area where she had been
burned was not large, but the wounds were deep. During the treatment, she screamed harshly inside
the ward, waking up in pain and passing out again.
“Won’t you all give her anesthetics? Why does it hurt like this?”
Midway through the treatment of her wounds, the doctor came out. Joseph immediately yanked the
doctor by his collar with a furious look on his face.
The doctor was also intimidated by him and cowered.
He said, “Sea View Town is only a small town. We don’t have an anaesthetist. There’s really no way to
do it. This is just a small clinic. You have to go to a big hospital in the city if you have so many
requests.”
“The city is fifty to sixty kilometers away from here. If I can make it in time, do you think I won’t go?”
Joseph said with a hoarse voice and his eyes were red and bloodshot.
On the way here, Hayden was shivering in his arms. She had fainted but she was still clenching her
teeth and refusing to make a sound, making his heart throb.
Damn, why was I in this place?
“Don’t blame the doctor. This is a clinic. There’s really nothing you can do.”
Dante frowned and tugged on Joseph’s arm, “If you tug on the doctor like this, there will be no one to
treat Ms. Downey’s wounds.”
Joseph was so frustrated that he let go of Dante’s hand and punched him directly in the face, cursing
him viciously.
Dante was pushed back several steps in a row and fell the sit at the corner of the wall, wiping the blood
at the corner of his mouth when he raised his head, “It’s my fault for causing her to get hurt innocently,
but you don’t have the right to beat me either. If it wasn’t for you, none of this would have happened
today.”
“What did you say?”
Joseph showed a cold look, “Explain what you said clearly.”
“What? You can’t even remember what have you done?”
Dante looked contemptuous, and the corner of his eyes hooked up in arc coldly.
“Isn’t SY Clothing a clothing brand under ST Group? What? Just because you changed the name and
all the staff, you can pretend that those things never happened five years ago? ST Group is the most
shameless company I’ve ever seen. The company was so nasty that even children became the
victims.”
SY Clothing?
Joseph’s slightly furrowed brows were tinged with suspicion.
Dante looked like he didn’t want to talk to him. He stood up slowly holding the wall. His eyebrows and
eyes were displaying a cold and arrogant expression. He said in a deep voice.
“I don’t regret that I beat you up. You can call the police and sentence me to jail for eight or ten years.
But before that, I want to apologize to Ms. Downey when she wakes up. It is not my intention to hurt
her.
Joseph had no idea what he was talking about, but the tone of his voice showed that he had something
to do with this company called SY Clothing?
As he was thinking, his mobile phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.
Seeing the caller ID, Joseph glanced at Dante and walked outside the clinic while pressing the answer
button.
The call was from Magnus.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Beckham, the seafood here has all been sent to Nanking. Why aren’t you at the company?”
“I have something to do now. I’m still in Ningpo.”
“Then how about the company meeting in the evening…”
“Do the meeting normally, just change it to a video conference.”
“Okay, I’m going to inform the participants now.”
Before hanging up the phone, Joseph asked him a question.
“Five years ago, was there a clothing company under ST Group by the name SY Clothing?”
“SY Clothing?”
On the other end of the phone, Magnus’s tone was hesitant for a few seconds.
“Yes, there was, but when I found out about it four years ago, the goodwill of the SY Clothing brand
was already negative and it had no more value, so I applied for its closure, and then all the staffs were
also dismissed.”
“Why don’t I remember anything about it?”
Joseph frowned.
